About the DEC Filter
**Status : May 8th 2011** The default edmodo site www.edmodo.com is allowed for teacher and all students (primary and high school). If you have a school subdomain, you will need to contact the firewall people and put in a request to unblock your subdomain.

Reloading the Firewall Settings on Student DER Laptops
A recent issue with the filter means some student DER laptops may need to have a "cache update". Students should do the following:
 * Go to the start button, type "cmd" and click to run the "cmd" program
 * In the black "cmd" window type: gpupdate /force
 * You may need to type "Y" to allow a restart of the laptop.
